Slip...

[AAA022414 13]

Has anyone had success after a complete unfill...fill...slip and another complete unfill?

to make a long story short...

I was pregnant and at about 7.5 months I was unable to eat or drink anything and in terrible pain so got a complete unfill. 1.5 months after my baby was born started getting filled again which was in August. So I've gone back every few weeks for another fill...then 2 weeks ago they sent me for a barium swallow to make sure everything was looking ok...nope! my band slipped...so back to being complete unfilled. I wasn't sick or anything so i had no idea...basically I was always starving and feeling like I needed to eat all the time so i was frustrated and wanted a huge fill.

I had my surgery almost 4 years ago...I lost a total of about 110 lbs...gained about 20 being pregnant and then when I was unfilled at 7.5 months gained 25 over night...ugh! now i'm up another 20...so yeah I've gained 65 back =(

I go back in Wednesday to see if the band went back to normal and see what the next step is.

I never had any sort of issue until my pregnancy and ever since that first unfill I've yet to "feel" my band...

Wow! What a roller coaster ride! But now you get to start over with a brand new band! Best of luck to you! Remember how wonderful it felt the first time around? You'll be there again!

thanks!! i'm trying to get back to the right mind set! I worked really hard to lose the weight the first time so it seems like such a daunting task to start over again! you're encouraging words definitly help! I was hoping someone went through something similar to get more encouragement! =)
